Climate change promotes the emergence of new concepts for mobility in order to reduce CO2 emissions and minimize the consumption of fossil fuels. As a result, more and more automotive companies are changing their portfolios from internal combustion engines to electric motors due to legal requirements of the EU. This also means that the energy source of automobiles is changing from diesel or gasoline to electrical energy. Battery cells are needed to store this energy in the car. The battery cells can in turn be used to build battery modules and battery packs. The demand for batteries is increasing worldwide. This also creates new requirements for quality and efficiency. In addition, the degree of digitalization in manufacturing industries, such as car manufacturers, continues to increase. The quality of the batteries can be guaranteed with different methods. One method is predictive quality, which can be used to predict quality in advance. But which process steps in battery cell production benefit from this quality method?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Predictive Quality?
Predictive Quality is a method that uses data and digitalization to predict the quality of a product in advance, allowing for adjustments before defects occur.
Why is quality assurance critical in battery cell production?
Battery cells are the primary energy source for electric vehicles; their integrity and performance are essential for safety, reliability, and meeting legal requirements.
Which process steps in battery production benefit from Predictive Quality?
The paper identifies specific steps in quality planning, inspection, and control where predictive models can enhance efficiency and output.
How does e-mobility influence battery demand?
EU legal requirements and the shift from combustion engines to electric motors have led automotive companies to increase battery production significantly.
What is the difference between battery cells, modules, and packs?
Battery cells are the individual units; multiple cells are combined into modules, and modules are then assembled into battery packs for use in cars.
What role does digitalization play in modern manufacturing?
Digitalization allows for real-time monitoring and the implementation of advanced quality methods like Predictive Quality to optimize production cycles.
